Welcome to la Petite Ecole!

La Petite Ecole is a French immersion preschool programme for children aged 3 to 5. Our sessions have been delivered across several locations in the Auckland region over the school terms since May 2011.​​All instruction is in French and is taught by native-speaking teachers in half day sessions for a ratio of no more than 9 students per teacher or teaching assistant.​ Only French will be spoken around the children during the sessions.

La Petite École seeks to engage children to participate in learning French and develop their sense of community and cultural identity through a fun-centered learning environment and interaction that promotes diversity and socialisation. Activities include:

French language, stories, songs

Writing, maths

Painting, drawing, crafts, physical activities​​

Children are also taught French etiquette, manners, hygiene standards, and health and safety.

La Petite Ecole is run by FRENZ School Inc., a charity promoting preschool and school aged bilingual French-English education in New Zealand. For more information about FRENZ School Inc,. click on our logo below to visit our website.
